Girl 13, beats friend to death over boyfriend

A 13 year old girl, Faustina Korankye has beaten her 14 year old friend named Maa Abena to death at Asamang in the Afigya Sekyere East Constituency of the Ashanti Region.

The two engaged in a fight allegedly over a young man in the area.

A family member of the deceased in an interview with Abusua FM’s Osei Kwadwo disclosed that the deceased was stabbed by her friend Faustina Korankye, but thanks to the efforts of doctors she survived.

The bad blood between the two rivals was so intense that they again engaged in a fierce fight on Thursday evening during which Faustina punched the same spot the deceased was stabbed last month with a hefty blow, sending Maa Abena to the ground writhing in severe pain.

The deceased was rushed to Asamang Government Hospital for treatment but she lost her life. Her body has been deposited at the hospital’s morgue pending autopsy.

The family of the deceased however failed to confirm or deny rumours that the two were fighting over a man.

Faustian Korankye has been arrested by Effiduase Police Command helping with investigations.
